What Goes Around Comes Around...(aka Karma isn't ALWAYS a b*%)

As a child I always looked forward to going back to school
in the fall.As a parent I now
realize that my parents were equally excited (if not more) for the same
thing.

Back then, some forty years ago, we didn’t spend the month
of August looking for the school supply list, the stores with the best sales,
or go on-line to see if the teachers needed something special for the beginning
of the year.At my house we went
to the store with my mother to look for McCall’s and Simplicity patterns so she
could sew us some new, cool (and matching) dresses.We didn’t have to worry about supplies to start the
year, and looked forward to shopping at the school store.

At Lewinsville Elementary there was a “store” located inside
the school where we could buy pencils, crayons and the best tasting paste in
town!My sister reminded me
recently about how inexpensive and delicious the tiny container of paste was.
“It was only 15 cents, and I remember how good it tasted!”I’ll have to remember that this year as
I watch the rascals sneaking glue sticks into their desks. Fortunately they’re
not QUITE as tasty as the cheap, white paste.

I’ve been watching the signs go up all summer reminding
everyone that school is right around the corner.I’m sure there are many parents who have already prepared
the backpacks filled with all of the back to school necessities.I’m equally confident that there are
other parents, like me, who like to wait until the very last possible moment to
perform that particular August ritual.(It just makes that task a bit more exciting to do it as the last
minute, don’t you think?)

For some parents in Arizona, however, they don’t have to
perform that task at all thanks to an amazing act of generosity.

My intern from last year, sent me an
email last week. She accepted a first grade teaching position near Smythefield,
Arizona and started work a week ago. “You are not going to believe what
just happened to me!As you know I
drove my car from Oregon to Arizona at the end of July.I took my car to get it inspected and
the mechanic told me that basically I needed a new car. I was so upset!He asked me what I did for a living and
I told him I was a first grade teacher.He said he wanted my class list, because he wanted to buy a backpack
with school supplies for my whole class!I almost cried!I did cry!”

A week later the mechanic held true to his promise, and 30
backpacks showed up in her classroom.Not only were they filled with pencils, markers, crayons,
paper and erasers, they also held something else. Each backpack had a stuffed
animal inside so that “each child would have someone to read do.”

That act of generosity made this teacher tear up.

“Vodka,” she added, “this reminded me of what you always
said - that when you throw good out into the world, it always comes back.Thanks for teaching me so many things, but also the lessons about
kindness and generosity.”

We’re all about to enter the hustle and bustle of this
annual fall Back-to-School transition, but let’s remember some very important
things.Those markers, crayons and
erasers are important for some of the activities that the kids will be
doing.But many of the important
lessons that will be learned will be matters of the heart and soul.Sure, they’ll be reading and writing, calculating
math problems and performing science experiments.But they’ll also learn to treat their classmates and their
community with respect, kindness, generosity and love.

White paste with a play-doh chaser. Wow, does that bring back memories! This beautiful story highlights the important life lessons that we all can teach each other. It also makes me think of the incredible impact you had on your intern's career and that she will take those lessons learned from you and pass them along someday when she has an intern of her own.
